T&T Clark Reader in John Webster

Description

This Reader charts John Webster’s theology from its earliest development, and guides the reader through selective essays and reviews that represent his corpus. The volume is an excellent introduction to the breadth of his writings, and teaches students how to engage with his particular mode of theological argument. The T&T Clark Reader in John Webster starts with a biographical, chronological and topical survey of Webster’s theological development. It notes his shifting conversation partners and his abiding theological principles. Each essay is prefaced by a concise editorial prompt which locates it amongst other writings in the Webster corpus, as well as the wider contexts of classical and contemporary theology. Editorial commentary is interspersed within essays in footnotes where key terms, historical or exegetical arguments, or polemical emphases need to be accented. For ease of reference, those occasional editorial footnotes are clearly differentiated from Webster’s own notes.
